LDDI Resolution, April 2003: LDDI created this resolution on toxic threats to child development, co-signed by member organizations, that describes what we currently know and don't know scientifically about neurotoxicants and what actions would be prudent to take now to increase our knowledge and protect people from toxic exposures. See our LDDI Resolution. This statement has been replaced by the more current consensus statements above.
